Join us for a gripping evening of suspense-filled storytelling at this Literary Cabaret, sharing works from the Crime Writing residency at Banff Centre. Across three nights, explore readings of razor-sharp mystery and crime writing by participants and faculty mentors.
Running for one-and-a-half weeks, this debut residency brings together writers working across crime fiction, mystery, noir, and crime-informed nonfiction, with room for hybrid forms that engage with criminal justice, investigation, and moral consequence.
This chapter is hosted by global crime writing phenomenon Nita Prose, the number-one New York Times and Canadian bestselling author of The Maid series, which has sold more than two million copies worldwide.
Enjoy a drink from the bar and immerse yourself in powerful explorations of justice, violence, and survival. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with readings starting at 7 p.m. Afterward, mingle with the writers and faculty until 9:30 p.m.
Don’t miss this unique chance to discover the next bestseller and celebrate the artform of a great crime novel.
